MICROWAVE MOM ARNOLD SPARED DEATH PENALTY

HELPLESS

EVIL

AN EVIL mom who viciously placed her baby in the microwave, burning her to death after a row with her boyfriend was spared the death penalty and instead given life without parole.
Twisted China Arnold intentionally put her helpless 28-day-old child, Paris Talley during a drunken argument about whether the boyfriend was the infants biological father.

Dr. Marcella Fierro, retired chief medical examiner for Virginia testified the baby was in the microwave for more than two minutes. 
She said: "She died because she was overheated. She was cooked."
Two psychologists also testified that Arnold was of average intelligence and showed no signs of serious mental illness.
Dr. Jeffrey Smalldon said Arnold suffered from a "low-grade chronic depressive condition" as well as alcohol and drug abuse.
He added that he found nothing "that would have justified the death of this child."
It was Arnold's third trial in her daughter's 2005 death. Her first trial ended in a mistrial when new witnesses surfaced just before closing arguments. Her second trial ended in a guilty
verdict and a life sentence. But an appeals court overturned the conviction when it found prosecutorial misconduct and that the trial judge erred in not allowing a relevant witness to testify.
An investigator close to the case said: "Paris Talley was a helpless child who did not deserve to die at all, let alone in such a terrible manner.
"We're all glad to see justice has finally been served on this case which has been traumatic for everyone who worked on it."

EVIL MOM MURDERED BABY BY MICROWAVING HER

SHE put her tiny daughter into the microwave and burned her for two minutes, killing her in a vicious crime that left even experienced officers sickened.   
Worse still, it appears that China Arnold, 31, who could face the death penalty for the horrific crime, killed her 28-day-old daughter out of spite.
Prosecutor Dan Brandt told jurors Arnold put her baby, Paris Talley, in the microwave after a fight with her boyfriend adding that her actions were "even more purposeful" than a slaying with a gun or knife.
While medical experts testifying at the trial, the infant was likely in the device for more than two minutes before she died.
An police insider revealed: "This has been one of the hardest and saddest cases we've ever seen. Even experienced officers have been reduced to tears by the
disgusting nature of the crime."
Arnold from Dayton, OH, has been tried three times for the horrific crime after her first trial ended in a mistrial and her conviction in the second trial was overturned by an appeals court, which found misconduct by prosecutors, and said the trial court made an error by not allowing a material witness to testify in Arnold's defense.

The sentencing phase of Arnold's latest trial was scheduled to begin Monday, but will be delayed three days for a mental exam of the defendant, reports the Dayton Daily News reports.
